If you want to create a poll or other voting form where you ask a question with pre-defined answers, insert your Question (first line) & Answers (2nd and subsequent lines) as code using the <poll> tag extension:

Example:

<!-- WARNING: Any edit to the poll tags will delete all previously entered vote results! -->
<!-- Do NOT make any edits between the poll tags unless absolutely necessary -->
<poll>
Which issue do you believe is most important to discuss at the next meeting?
Workplace Culture
Security & privacy 
Diminishing size of domestically-produced hotdogs
Governance
Lady Gaga fashion tips
</poll>

Produces:

A Likert scale, where you make a statement that users can select a response to, is also easily implementable:

<poll> All things considered, cheese is good. Strongly disagree Somewhat disagree Neither agree nor disagree Somewhat agree Strongly agree </poll>

For a survey with open-ended responses, just create a survey page where each question has a separate section, and ask users to add their comments below the appropriate question.
